Educational Visits

Schools and other educational groups are always welcome at the museum. We pride ourselves on providing a surprising and fun educational experience and we are delighted to accommodate any special requirements.

Military Family

The museum is home to both the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry (DCLI) and the national Light Infantry (LI) collections, as well as still being home to the County office of The Rifles regiment. Find out more about the past and present of our military family.

Light Infantry Archives

Our LI archive photographs

In addition to our Light Infantry museum collection, we are also home to the Light Infantry archive of photographs which record many aspects of the Regiment’s story. This image shows the boxes of photos that are housed in our archive store. We have thousands of photographs from each of the Battalions which are gradually being catalogued and recorded. Look out for our regular LI photograph posts on Facebook and help us to identify people and places.
If you have an enquiry that you think we may be able to help with then please get in touch by emailing [email protected]

Li Archive Documents

The LI document archive is held at the museum and includes back copies of the regimental journal. Access to some parts of the document archive is under the control of the Light Infantry Committee. If you have a research enquiry please contact us in the first instance on [email protected]
